Doom

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Doom with the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B370 covers three resolutions and four quality presets. The database entries include average frame rates for all combinations, with minimum and maximum values recorded only for the Medium preset at each resolution.

At 3840x2160, the results are consistently below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Low preset delivers an average of 34 FPS, which is the highest figure at this resolution. Medium follows at 29 FPS on average, with a recorded minimum of 25 FPS and a maximum of 34 FPS. High drops to 25 FPS, while Ultra bottoms out at 20 FPS. None of these settings approach a smooth experience, and the spread between presets is relatively narrow, roughly 14 FPS from the fastest to the slowest configuration.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance improves substantially but remains limited. Low reaches an average of 62 FPS, just clearing the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 54 FPS, with a range of 46 to 62 FPS for minimum and maximum. High sits at 46 FPS, and Ultra falls to 37 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 25 FPS, indicating that quality settings have a strong impact on the GPU at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combination becomes much more viable. Low averages 96 FPS, which is the fastest recorded result across all tested configurations. Medium delivers 84 FPS on average, with minimum and maximum values of 71 and 96 FPS respectively. High reaches 71 FPS on average. Ultra is the only preset that misses the 60 FPS threshold, landing at 58 FPS. The difference between the lowest and highest settings is 38 FPS, showing that as resolution drops, the CPU and GPU headroom allow higher presets to remain fluid.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, no preset in the recorded data reaches an average of 60 FPS. The database lists no playable settings for this resolution. The best available result is the Low preset at 34 FPS, but since it falls below the playability threshold, the verdict marks this resolution as unable to maintain a smooth frame rate under any tested quality level.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only playable option. It averages 62 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS line by a small margin. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall short, with averages of 54, 46, and 37 FPS respectively. The best settings designation for this resolution is Low, with the recorded average at that preset being 62 FPS.

For 1920x1080, three presets are playable: High, Low, and Medium. The database identifies High as the best settings choice, with an average of 71 FPS. Low runs at 96 FPS and Medium at 84 FPS, both above the threshold, but High offers the highest quality among the playable options while still maintaining a comfortable margin over 60 FPS. Ultra at 58 FPS is the only preset that fails to meet the threshold at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the balance between the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and the Intel Arc B370 shifts across resolutions. The GPU is a mobile integrated part with a 25 W TDP and system shared memory, which explains the steep performance declines as resolution increases. The CPU, by contrast, is a desktop part with 6 cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, so it is unlikely to be the primary constraint in this title.

At 1920x1080, the combination produces 96 FPS on Low and 71 FPS on High. The difference between presets is 25 FPS, which is modest compared to the jump from Low to Ultra at the same resolution, a spread of 38 FPS. This suggests that the GPU is still the main factor even at 1080p, since lowering settings yields clear gains. The CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU across these settings, as evidenced by the fact that even the most demanding preset stays close to 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the GPU load increases noticeably. Low drops to 62 FPS, a 35% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium falls to 54 FPS, High to 46 FPS, and Ultra to 37 FPS. The scaling between resolutions points to the GPU as the limiting component: doubling the pixel count from 1080p to 1440p cuts performance by roughly a third to a half depending on the preset. The CPU's role diminishes further, as the frame rates are increasingly dictated by the Arc B370's rendering throughput.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. Even the lowest settings only manage 34 FPS, and the gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 14 FPS. This compression at high resolution indicates that the GPU is saturated across all quality levels, and the CPU has little influence on the outcome. The system shared memory and low TDP of the Arc B370 make 4K rendering impractical for this title, regardless of CPU capabilities.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent: the GPU becomes more dominant as resolution rises, while the CPU's contribution stays relatively constant. The Ryzen 5 7500F has strong single-threaded performance, as measured in benchmarks, is more than adequate for a 2016 FPS title, so frame rate differences between presets are best attributed to the integrated GPU's limits rather than the processor.

Conversely, the GPU rivals would behave similarly to the Arc B370 when paired with this CPU, given their close average scores.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B370 can run Doom, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the combination is fully playable on High settings with an average of 71 FPS, and it also clears 60 FPS on Low and Medium presets. The High preset represents the best balance of quality and performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the system manages 62 FPS on Low settings, which is just above the playability threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, so users at this resolution must stick to the lowest preset for a smooth experience. The margin is thin, and any additional GPU load could push it under the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: the combination cannot maintain 60 FPS at any preset. The best recorded result is 34 FPS on Low, which is well below acceptable for this title. Users seeking 4K play would need a more powerful GPU than the Arc B370.

Overall, this system is suitable for 1080p gaming in Doom with high quality settings, and it can handle 1440p only at the lowest settings. It is not suitable for 4K gaming in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3425 out of 3712 tested combinations for Doom. This places it in the lower percentile of systems, consistent with the GPU's low benchmark percentile of 5 among all GPUs. The CPU, by contrast, ranks at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, showing a significant mismatch between processor capability and graphics performance.

The low overall rank reflects the integrated GPU's limitations rather than the CPU's. In a title like Doom, which scales well with GPU throughput at higher resolutions, the Arc B370 drags the system down despite the Ryzen 5 7500F's strong compute results. The rank of 3425 out of 3712 means that most other tested combinations achieve better frame rates in this game, and the system sits near the bottom of the database's results.

For users considering this pairing, the data suggests that the CPU offers substantial headroom for a future GPU upgrade, but as configured, the combination is best suited for 1080p play at medium to high settings. The recorded rank quantifies what the FPS numbers already show: this is a low-tier gaming configuration for Doom, with the GPU as the decisive factor.
